Pitchers Tyler Wilson and Logan Verrett have cleared waivers and been outrighted to Triple-A Norfolk. The Orioles announced the moves earlier today.

The Orioles designated Verrett and Wilson for assignment on Friday, the same day that they purchased reliever Richard RodrÃguez's contract from Norfolk.

Verrett went 2-6 with a 5.10 ERA in 40 games with Norfolk, including two starts. He won both decisions with the Orioles while posting a 4.22 ERA in four appearances over 10 2/3 innings.

Wilson, a 10th-round pick in 2011 out of the University of Virginia, is 7-8 with a 4.74 ERA in 20 starts for Norfolk. He's 2-2 with a 7.04 ERA in nine games (one start) for the Orioles this season and 8-10 with a 5.02 ERA in 42 major league games (19 starts).

The Orioles named Single-A Delmarva left-hander Alex Wells their minor league Pitcher of the Year. Wells was 11-5 with a 2.38 ERA, 0.91 WHIP, 10 walks and 113 strikeouts in 140 innings. He didn't issue a walk in his last 68 innings.

The rest of the organization's awards will be announced later in the homestand.

Triple-A Norfolk infielder Luis SardiÃ±as, 24, was named the International League's Batter of the Week. He went 13-for-26 with a double, triple and three home runs in eight games to raise his season average to .319.

SardiÃ±as batted .375 (66-176) with four doubles, four home runs and 19 RBIs over the last 50 games. He posted a .415 on-base percentage.
